    Whoever mentioned LaRue Martin is brilliant. Might be the worst draft choice in the history of pro sports.

    Good one, see also the Detroit Red Wings. They are the president trophy winners almost every season then collapse in the playoffs.

    Sirs, Madames,

    The National Post.

    Eddie (the Eagle) Edwards.

    And if Gerry Cooney gets any credit for beating Ken Norton ... well, Norton was shot at that pt. Cooney beat a dead man.

    YHS, etc

    Man, thanks for stabbing that dagger deep into my heart. I still lament that day (I was so pissed, I burned a hole in the floor of my rental townhouse because I threw my cigarette down and stomped on it).

    Any votes for the U.S. team in the World Baseball silliness?

    Nike can pick athletes . . . but as has been repeatedly demonstrated, character is clearly not part of their equation.
